Now I have 1050L_S100255_160113

Is this the latest ROM?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] corasman:
I think the differences are in the file names...after YT2 it tells you which file is for which model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gs6man:
By the looks of the regular galaxy s6 general thread, many international variants have already been pushed the android 6.0 update and a majority of the non-verizon users should have the update in the US soon. Anyone have any idea what the wait time is gonna be like for us poor folks who have verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] torr310:
Should be at least a month after S7 debut.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Eddie Hicks:
I just read on Android Authority that the S7 will be announced on February 21st. So I hope that we'll get it no later then April.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elzeus:

I wonder what effect it will have on battery life. It's already atrocious as it is. Wish I'd have kept my s5 can't wait to upgrade again it drops so famn quick on this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Eddie Hicks:
Marshmallow has the doze feature that is supposed to help with battery life. But if you are constantly using your phone it may not help much.

Do you think Verizon will push out the February security patch to us before releasing 6.0? http://security.samsungmobile.com/smrupdate.html#SMR-FEB-2016
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cowboys2000:
My "guess", they want folks to upgrade to the S7 and S7 Plus before the S6, S6 Plus and other phones get 6.0.x

I'm sure the 2015 "flagships" mentioned will get the update maybe 1-2 months after the newer phones launch.

I am mostly looking forward to better battery life on my S6. Today my phone completely died on me at 1:15Pm (unplugged at 7:30 AM). Went from 30 to 25 to 15 to 10 to 1 percent in about 20 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gs6man:
Yeah this seems to have been their strategy in the past as well. I am certainly looking forward to better battery life as well...hopefully. But who knows though. Even in the past they have pushed updates like the 5.11 update that promised to improve battery life a decent amount, but most us saw little to no improvement at all. It's hard to improve battery life on a super tiny battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nomad1600:
I have Marshmallow on a Nexus 7 that will soon be retired by the vendor. I just got Marshmallow on my Moto 360 watch. Heck, I even have Marshmallow on a five year old HP TouchPad tablet that wasn't even designed to run Android.

My newest device? This "top of the line" Samsung S6, and no sign of Marshmallow. Smh...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nomad1600:
Lol, i wonder if we will get Marshmallow before other devices get the official Android N? ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Jhall8:
I'm thinking about picking up a Nexus 5x & joining the beta program to load up the Android N preview.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nomad1600:
My next phone will be a Nexus. Wish the 6p was a little smaller, or the 5x performed a bit closer to the 6p.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jasonsf:
Sprint is pushing out the Marshmallow build. Maybe peer pressure will get Verizon moving?

Yeah, I don't really think so either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cell128:
I just updated today to early for me to tell but I'm not sure if it's just me being excited to finally get mm or its doing better on battery. I been on it non stop I usually can see it drainj g faster. Other than that mm doesn't really seem different from 5.1 other than new colors on notification screen for me. SMS app looks different
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] noc_t:
My battery life is amazing.. I'm still using greenify non root method. When idle my battery is only draining about 25 mAh

Download 3 times 2 different devices ADB can't read zip file ???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] zakkxx:
I recently installed Adguard, and I think it works fabulously. I doesn't block ads in most apps, but it seems to block every single one in the browser. I've tried all of them, and almost considered selling my s6 for something I could root. Adaway is by far the best, but requires root. I'm happy to say that Adguard almost rivals Adaway. I didn't believe it till I tried it.

Successfully Update the OTA (*.bin file) by ADB sideload via PC.

Updating from SD card is impossible!

Guide to Manually OTA update by ADB on PC: http://androiding.how/how-to-install-ota-updates-manually-using-recovery-and-adb-sideload/

!Remember:

- in Windows Explorer, change File Name and File extension from *.bin to ota.zip

- this OTA only for BOK7 to CPC2

Please Google if you not understand anything!

Good luck! enjoy MM 6.0.1 now!

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I try it by ADB sideload Successfully! WOW!

Thank you so much!

You are my Savior!

I have a question: How can you get this OTA file from Verion's Server? Are you Verizon staff? :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
If you guys are talking about ads while web browsing, then samsung internet with adblock fast is as close to adaway you will get. The ads are gone!

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

you gonna try it following the 186 post? Seems like it would work. You were close but had to rename some stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
Today i tried again and it works, I'm on 6.0.1 now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Wojei:
I was able to update my phone using the bin link provided.

1. Downloaded the file.

2. Renamed it to update.zip

3. Booted into recovery (volume up + home + power)

4. Update using adb

5. "adb sideload path/to/update.zip"

6. Wait...

7. Profit!

Thanks a lot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
CAN YOU PLEASE STEP BY STEP THIS ****. Phone said cant load ota zip. now its boot looping b/c adb timed out. WTF. i dl the file, copy file to same folder as adb, right click, run, FAIL. what am i doing wrong????

the zip file through odin? isnt that what the guy posted with the MM update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
Yup, after odin the 5.1.1 (ok7), I did all the adb thing again and it works!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
did you read what i did up there? Obviously i did something wrong. DL the MM file and adb. ( do i extract with a program here??), create file on C, transfer MM file to folder then run commands and fail...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
It happens here too, that's why i flashed ok7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
what exactly did you rename the zip? did you just delete the .bin and change to .zip or delete whole thing and name ota.zip?

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

NOT WORKING THROUGH ADB. DID EXACTLY AS EVERYONE DESCRIBED AND STILL CANT READ FILE NO MATTER WHAT I RENAME IT...thanks but **** this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
Check the filename, maybe it's 2 ".zip" at the end
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rbeavers:
A Big Thank-You to

supershrek

For pointing out its an OTA update.

Rename *.bin file to OTA.zip

Then ADB sideload OTA.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supershrek:
Haha...

I'm very happy with my S6 with MM now...

Congratulation to you, too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] VintageGold:
I did the OTA update without issues. It downloaded and installed without any errors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] popo020:
now you can update from software upgrade assistant
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] aselya:
ADB Update.zip worked

Just wanted to chime in that sideloading the bin file (renamed to update.zip) worked great. MM has refreshed my GS6 and battery life is greatly improved. Thanks to everyone in this thread!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] CharlzO_2000:
Downloaded for me first thing this morning. And I really miss my lockscreen weather, so if anyone has an idea of where to find something that works the same way, feel free to share. It was quite cool, and now... bleh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mjmjhkgh:
now we(or I) need one more update. AOD ^^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RylanM:
Nice! Thanks for the reminder. I'm downloading the update for an S6 Edge right now, and my regular S6 is charging since the upgrade assistant said it couldn't continue unless I charged the phone more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elzeus:
Download Good Lock from the samsung store, you can add widgets and it adds some extra features. I'd be using it right now but they haven't added the power saving toggle to the notification menu yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] CharlzO_2000:
I found that it apparently was using a version of the Yahoo Weather app built into the OS which was removed, but... I'll check out that and see. I added the app but I really do miss it on unlocking the phone. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Jizzylax:
Anyone else not getting gmail notifications?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rae2u_112:
My son gave me the heads up about the OTA update this morning. He received a notification about it on his S6 Edge. I checked for an update. Went through just fine. However, I have been trouble-shooting the system ui tuner. I'm updating Good Lock from the Galaxy Apps store right now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JihadSquad:
Holy crap what did this update do to the battery life? Never seen this before on my s6e! Been using the phone almost continuously since my flight to NY has been delayed for hours, and I just noticed how much juice I still have left.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] furyau:
Doze works very well - I used the debloater and disabled about 200 apks. It's been rock solid losing like 1% in 10hrs of sleep and screen time is very good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jlb1959.01:
You can't root 6.0 so how did you debloat??, that's my problem,stock 6.0 can't be rooted as a result the bloat is stuck in the phone,i sure if you installed Upgrade yourself in a pre rooted phone doze would work totally different,in other words if I went from 5.1 rooted and clear of junk apps and then manually upgraded to 6.0 that would be totally different from buying a 6.0 with built in doze...

vs985 lg3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ericmtnbkr:
But you can use apps like Package Disabler Pro. You're right that it's not deleting anything, but it is completely disabling unwanted bloat. This is the first time I've used an unrooted phone for more than about 2 days and I'm quite happy with PDP's results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jlb1959.01:
I don't have a Samsung so that app is useless to me, if it works for you great,you can disable some apps without that,just by going into app manager,for myself I can not disable all the Verizon junk,which I could do if rooted,therefore doze doesn't really work that well for me,so my problem is bloat.Great for you tho...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gotwillk:
wait so why are you in this thread if you don't have a Samsung phone? this thread is for verizon samsung S6 phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gizmoe:
You can use a tool to freeze apps even ones you can't see. Don't remember exactly what it's called but it's in the s6 forums.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ericmtnbkr:
I use Package Disabler Pro. It's great. I think it cost 1.49 US dollars.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
Or debloater.exe, it's free but needs a pc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gizmoe:
That's the name of the one I have used. Guess the name was too obvious for me to remember lol. I don't use my s6 anymore, but remember that being a very useful tool. No root required obviously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
Unfortunately it only freeze apps, but it's better than keep all verizon things
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Works though. Sometimes just disabling apps, they reenable themselves

Anyone having issues with the theme store on 6.0.1? When I try to download a new or update an existing theme, it just blinks for a second and never downloads or updates. Anyone else?

Just got this phone in Canada. I guess Verizon does what AT&T does and blocks non-Verizon users from system updates?

Just want to confirm before I attempt ODIN and that Tar file linked above on Megaupload is all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RylanM:
Did you try Software Upgrade Assistant from a PC?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brian10161:
I couldn't find a download link actually. I'll search some more when I get home tonight. Kies won't work for me, keeps saying Smart switch is what I need to use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
download smart switch, plug your phone and update it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brian10161:
Smart switch was just showing as a download in the playstore so wasn't sure if that was it.

First Samsung I have had since G S2 days so all this other stuff is new to me. Been on Moto and Nexus phones for the past while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] utsc:
Download Samsung Smart Switch for PC. I am in Canada to and I was able to upgrade to Android 6.01.

Download Link

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brian10161:
Awesome thanks for the info, will try this when I get home tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RylanM:
To install Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant, plug your phone into a computer. On your phone, choose installer instead of media device in the notification shade. Back on your computer, double click the installer icon that appeared.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brian10161:
Got it and updated to Marshmallow. What a difference, I was actually ready to resell the phone because of how bad touchwiz was on 5.1.1. It looked likey old S3 just white.

I'm rather enjoying the new update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
Does upgrade assistant work on rooted phones?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rbeavers:
Not rooted, but on t-mobile it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
What sot are you guys getting? Us att users found a way to unofficially get the official(probably not final) version and i am around over 4hrs sot first day
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] snk012:
Were you able to update to Marshmallow with success by this method? I am on Clean Rom 1.5 and would like to get on stock MM. Any help/directions would be appreciated.

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
Yes it worked and did not delete any apps, photos, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] snk012:
Thank you for the response. I just sent you a PM ^^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Illogi.xbone:
I had the issue. I had disabled something with Samsung Account. I had then factory reset it, I needed to wipe it anyway, and it worked again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Jhall8:
I'm hoping that last week's Marshmallow release for the Verizon Note 5 is a sign that the OTAs for the Verizon S6/S6 Edge, & S6 Edge+ are imminent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gs6man:
Man, I'm really hoping as well. Even if we never get root on MM, I just want to get off Lolipop haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] el6006:
I think I'll be moving on from Samsung for my next device as well. I think I will be getting Nexus devices instead. No locking, quick updates and custom ROMs. No more having to wait on Verizon or the manufacturer to release updates. Is the Nexus 5X compatible with Verizon network? I'm thinking about buying it along with Google Fi service then cancelling the service and just using the device with my current Verizon plan. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joeyyamms:
I'm there with you.

---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

Only reason I'm still with Verizon is my unlimited data. I do love Samsung too but not being able to root is BS. I hope be S7 can be rooted, I'm actually thinking about a nexus too if the specs are on par.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Jhall8:
Yes, both the Nexus 5x and 6p are compatible with Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joeyyamms:
Do you think Samsung will come out with a Nexus device ever? Or have any idea when we'll get the mm update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cowboys2000:
With the S7 launching today...I can only hope MM will be available and is stable for the S6.

My battery sucks and it started with the fall upgrade for me. I have to charge it at least 2 times during the day
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joeyyamms:
Amen to that!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
Just letting everyone know, my wife's S5 got the February security patch last week while my s6 is on November. Hoping we get MM ASAP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ChaoticHavok:
This wait is so agonizing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] el6006:
I hope it arrives by the end of the month. The performance afterwards will determine whether I keep it or sell it and move along to a nexus. I have already reset back to stock again because of lag, crap battery, and just crap overall performance. Sigh.

Well, this article may be bad news (If it is even more than just speculation)

Android Marshmallow skipped for Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Note 4, S5, Note Edge, S6 Duos? Will directly get Android N?

Didn't it drop for the Note 5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cowboys2000:
S6 Duos is not the same as the S6 or S6 PLUS..... intuitive he article it mentioned the note 5 and verizon already started the MM rollout so at this point it is still possible.

do you really think all gs6 get 4 hours battery life? you either have bunk hardware or some app is killing your battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DroidXrei:
Well I get that on my S6 as well but honestly the S6 has had crap battery life since launch. It got better after OF1 but the last two updates have dragged it back down. I also have a bad shutter on my camera too as some other people seem to have.

Its St. Patrick's Day and still no Marshmallow update for Verizon S6 customers....

Anyone know when it will be?????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RGardner:
Soon

The time frame I've seen as of this morning is "soon."

"Network carriers T-mobile and Sprint have already rolled out the Android Marshmallow update for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. It is expected to come soon on the other network carriers such as US Cellular, AT&T and Verizon."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PrinceCorwin:
I've been hearing "soon" for 4 months.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] belovedson:
5-6 hours?! What's your screen on time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] texaswickedtoys:
I haven't checked screen on time but battery drains pretty quick even if my phone is idle
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] libertao:
Yes my battery life has become similarly awful, I'm not sure just updating to MM will fix it drastically enough. I might need to look into taking it in before the 1-year warranty expires.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ginger man:
Well they're running out of other flagship phones to update so we should be relatively soon I'd guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Follow The Red Light:
End of March?

A guy at the lawyer Herald claims the S6 Edge + will be by the end of March, so you have to hope that they'll do the S6 at the same time, right?

Apparently Sprint is ahead of big Red, so that should motivate them...

I'm about ready to update my S4 and go with that!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nomad1600:
Read a Canadian carrier that hoping for March is now looking at mid April. I am thinking May or June for Verizon. Also wondering if i can sell my S6 for enough to not take too much of a loss.

Pretty much the last straw to push me to the 7

Funny thing was that's exactly what happened to me recently with the Play store being the biggest drain. Never was the case before. I went and uninstalled the most recently installed apps and problem resolved itself.

This same issue also cropped up for me late last week. I did a force stop and clear data for both the Play Store app and Google Play Services. Rebooted and the battery drain seems to be fixed.
